St. Paul's Divinity School was founded in 1903 by the Church Missionary Society (CMS) in Freretown, Mombasa. The school moved to Limuru in 1930. The Divinity School changed its name to St. Paul's United Theological in 1955 when three Churches, namely, Anglican Church of Kenya, Presbyterian Church of East Africa and Methodist Church of Kenya, decided to form a partnership in Church ministerial training. The Reformed Church of East Africa joined the partnership in 1973 and the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) in 1995. The College now reflects the ecumenical experience of our time.
St. Paul's awards first degrees, Bachelor of Divinity, Bachelor of Business Administration, it also runs a Diploma of Theology Programme at various affiliated Colleges, including Berea and St. Andrew's, Kabare. Various Post-Graduate Programmes are being developed at the moment, including:
